Hylian Shield Backpack For Preorder

We all see the fun and creative Zelda merchandise online: handmade heart pieces, plushes and clothing, but rarely do we see items like that released from the source. Lucky for us, Nintendo UK has heard our wishes and is here to grant them with an amazing – and practical – Zelda accessory.

Hit the jump to see more!

I never thought Nintendo would actually start releasing novelty items outside of their bonus item themes, such as books and figurines. In a happy turn of events, I am proven wrong in the best way as we now see what will hopefully be the beginning of a long line of useful Zelda accessories and items released straight from the source. Check out this gorgeous backpack that is now up for preorder:

The backpack is scheduled for release on September 19, but you can reserve one now for £29.99, which is roughly $60.00. The price may seem a bit steep, but it actually runs in accord with fan-made items of the same type. That said, this version comes with extra embossing and is a true piece of Nintendo and Zelda merchandise, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
